  TODD RUNDGREN  Back To The Bars  (Bearsville,1978) - Rock       Perhaps it is not surprising, but Todd Rundgren has released very few live albums during his long career. When looking at his solo career, as opposed to his work with Utopia, the opportunities to hear recordings of him playing live are even less. Given that his solo albums tend to be just that, solo projects, recreating them live presents something of a challenge, creating the need for a touring band to be put together.       "Back to the bars" captures Todd live in 3 US cities early on, around the time of the "Hermit of Mink Hollow" album. The set list draws in songs from the various albums he had released up to this point, and while not a "Greatest hits live" as such ("I saw the light" only appears as part of a medley for example), it does arguably represent a "Best of" collection. TRACKLIST 1: Real Man / Love Of The Common Man / The Verb 'To Love' / Love In Act

  CRACK THE SKY  Crack The Sky  (Lifesong,1975) - Progressive rock       American rockers aren't  known for their prog ambitions, and the bands that did push the boundaries usually slipped through the commercial cracks. Case in point: West Virginia wise-asses Crack the Sky, who created an outright classic with their kaleidoscopic debut. Led by singer-mastermind John Palumbo, the band expertly navigated chunky hard-rock riffs, barbed art pop, fusion funk (the wicked breakdown in "She's a Dancer") and long-form balladry.  TRACKLIST : Hold On                           Surf City                           Sea Epic                           She's A Dancer                           Robots For Ronnie                           Ice                           I Don't Have A Tie                           Sleep https://www.sendspace.com/file/lnwl4f

        Like everybody who played in Henry Cow, Chris Cutler was out to expand his instrument’s vocabulary; which meant exploring the melodic, trancelike, and noisy possibilities of percussion. He seldom played a straight backbeat, though he certainly could. During his mid-80s stint with Pere Ubu, he tag-teamed with founding drummer Scott Krauss on some of the most muscular rock that “avant-garage” band ever made.

  RONNIE LAINE  Ahh,Laine  (Wizard,1973) - Rock       Denny Laine  did not know this album was released on Warner Bros until 1989. Laine  is wearing a  Wings  T-shirt on the front cover and it is amazing that he didn't perform some of these songs with Paul & Linda McCartney when they were all together. This is music straight from the heart.

  NICKY HOPKINS  No More Changes  (Mercury,1975) - Piano rock       Hopkins was an innovator in rock, on par with many of the great names of the era. He was technically brilliant, versatile and creative. His piano could be gentle and melodic, but it could also be powerful, driving a song. His creative input and musical ideas helped shape the songs of many artists he worked with.       Hopkins released three solo albums in his time. The first was an easy listening effort titled  The Revolutionary Piano Of Nicky Hopkins  in 1966. In 1973 and 1975 two more albums followed,  The Tin Man Was A Dreamer  and  No More Changes .

  GAYLE McCORMICK  Gayle McCormick  (Dunhill,1971) - Pop rock      M cCormick was the lady from  Smith, touted as a good shot for  a successful solo career wen  she was placed with producer/ writers Lambert & Butler for this  album in 1971. They pulled in  LA’s finest sessioneers, including  good girlie back-up singers,  building a fine showcase for her  strong, assured and attractive  voice with a mixture of covers  and their own songs. TRACKLIST : It's A Cryin' Shame                           Superstar                           C'Est La Vie                           Natural Woman                           You Really Got A Hold On Me                           Rescue Me                           If Only You Believe                           Save Me                           Everything Has Got To Be Free                           Gonna Be Alright Now https://www.sendspace.com/file/cyvk6j

  FANDANGO  Last Kiss  (RCA,1978) - Rock       Joe Lynn Turner describes his first band as “an eclectic mix of R&B, pop, country, jazz and melodic rock”. In fact, no style was off limits as New Yorkers Fandango pursued their rock’n’roll dream across four albums in the late 70s. They bent whichever way the breeze was blowing.       1978’s  Last Kiss  (by which time they’d expanded from a quartet to a seven-piece) has more of an Eagles/Fleetwood Mac feel, with some innovative disco tinges to keep it from getting too laid-back. TRACKLIST : Last Kiss                          Sure Got The Power                          Mexico                           Hotel La Rue                          Feel The Pain                          Losin' Kind Of Love                          The Mill's On Fire                          Keep Going/Hard Bargain https://www.sendspace.com/file/0ckrjl                          

  MARK FARNER & DON BREWER  Monumental Funk  (Quadico,1974) - Rock       Mark Farner calls this a bootleg put out by the people at the original label who released music by Terry Knight & the Pack, a company called Lucky Eleven; but bootleg or no, Monumental Funk is an amazing record that Don Brewer and Mark Farner have every right to be very proud of.   TRACKLIST : We Gotta Have Love                     Hey Everybody                     I've Got News For You                     Come See About Me                     Harlem Shuffle                     Love Lights https://www.sendspace.com/file/tjpcw0

  LOCOMOTIVE  We Are Everything You See  (Parlophone,1970) - Psychedelic/Prog rock       A legendary band from Birmingham led by excellent vocalist Norman Haines, quite famous in Britain in the late 60s and early 70s, a talented but not very lucky singer, keyboard player and composer.      The album "We Are Everything You See" is a wonderful melodic mixture of psychedelia, prog and jazz, perfectly orchestrated and complemented by strong vocals and a powerful brass section.       After Locomotive, Norman formed a new band - The Norman Haines Band. TRACKLIST : Overture                     Mr. Armageddon                     Now Is The End-The End Is When                     Lay Me Down Gently                     Nobody Asked You To Come                     You Must Be Joking                     A Day In Shining Armour                     The Loves Of Augustus Abbey I                     Rain                     The Loves Of Augustus Abbey II                     Coming Down/Love

       Britanska, pre svega autorka, pa tek onda pevačica, koja je objavila gomilu singlva izmedju 1965 i 1972. Iako nijedan od ovih singlova nije postigao veći uspeh, njene pesme su izvodili Tony Christie, The Foundations, Judy Cannon, Marilyn Powell...Gentlemen, Please je bila ponudjena Lulu za Pesmu Evrovizije 1969, ali nije izabrana. Radila je i kao voditelj programa 'Cool Britannia' na BBC's World Service-u.      Poslednji solo singl je objavila 1972 (Beautiful Friendship) i posvetila se kabareu u Londonskom West Endu.

  ROBBY KRIEGER  Versions  (Passport,1982) - Jazz rock       Robby Krieger's solo career after The Doors  has been somewhat erratic, but one thing remains: he is still one of the most original yet underappreciated guitarists to emerge from the rock era. This collection of instrumentals is a wonderfully eclectic mix of styles which reflects Krieger's unique synthesis of blues, rock, jazz, Flamenco, and beyond. TRACKLIST : Tattooed Love Boys                        Her Majesty                        East End, West End                        The Crystal Ship                        Street Fighting Man                        Reach Out (I'll Be There)                        Gavin Leggit                        Underwater Fall                        I'm Gonna Tell On You                        Harlem Nocturne https://www.sendspace.com/file/4sjiiw

  SANTANA  Santana III  (Columbia,1971) - Latin rock       The third album maybe did not surpass the previous "Abraxas", but it came close. Without obvious hits (only "Everything's Coming Our Way" enjoyed chart success, and it is probably the least good song here), the band continues to explore the experimental mix between rock, Latino and jazz. "Everybody's Everything" introduces some funky brass, which sounds pretty refreshing, if you ask me. All other tracks are perfect, even if originality is perhaps traded for the "safe area" arrangements and immaculate instrumentation. TRACKLIST : Batuka                        No One To Depend On                        Taboo                        Toussaint L'Overture                        Everybody's Everything                        Guajira                        Jungle Strut                        Everything's Coming Our Way                        Para Los Rumberos https://www.sendsp

  SUPERCHARGE  Local Lads Make Good  (Virgin,1976) - Funk/Rock/Pop       Supercharge  were a 1970s English funk/rock  band from Liverpool , founded by singer/saxophonist Albie Donnelly and drummer Dave Irving. They had a number three hit single  in Australia  with "You've Gotta Get Up and Dance" in 1977. TRACKLIST : Lonely And In Love                       Hole Town                       Everyone! Everywhere!                       I Believe In You                       Get Down Boogie                       Only You                       Gimme Your Love                       You've Gotta Get Up And Dance                       She Moved The Dishes First https://www.sendspace.com/file/r67xt4

  PLAYERS' ASSOCIATION  The Players' Association  (Vanguard,1977) - Funk/Disco       Best known for folk, blues, and jazz, Vanguard tried to cash in on disco's popularity when it signed the Players Association in 1977. The band's jazz-influenced brand of disco-funk didn't make Vanguard huge in the disco field; it's safe to say that the vast majority of Donna  Summer  and  Chic f ans have never even heard of the Players Association. But this self-titled debut LP did help the band acquire a small following among club DJs. TRACKLIST : I Like It                       Moon In Pisces                       Let's Groove                       Love Hangover                       For The Love Of You                       Hustlin' https://www.sendspace.com/file/33xrhy

  ADC BAND  Roll With The Punches  (Cotillion,1982) - Funk/Soul       Nine-piece funk crew from the 70s and 80s, who rolled big, bad and squelchy, the way Daddy Clinton used to cook it up.  Roll With The Punches  features a sleeve that is bad, in the very unironic, English sense of the word – a boxing gloved female with a towel draped around her neck concealing her breasts. TRACKLIST : Roll With The Punches                          U-Funk-Ula                          Funk On Fire                          So Good                          Girls                          Give It Up                          You Are My Angel                          A Little Taste Of Love https://www.sendspace.com/file/8qudv4

  BILLY PRESTON  The Kids & Me  (A&M,1974) - Funk,Soul      T his is a pretty good album, not just for the fantastic “Nothing From Nothing,” but also due to the representative picture of Preston’s solo work. If you only get your hands on one Billy Preston album, make sure it’s this one. TRACKLIST : Tell Me You Need My Loving                           Nothing From Nothing                           Struttin'                           Sister Sugar                           Sad Sad Song                           You Are So Beautiful                           Sometimes I Love You                           St. Elmo                           John The Baptist                           Little Black Boys And Girls                           Creature Feature https://www.sendspace.com/file/i4pnop

        Established in 1980, Overkill are one of the earliest thrash acts, fusing punk’s raw energy with the earliest NWOBHM offerings. Along with singer Bobby Blitz, bassist D.D. Verni is one of the band’s remaining founding members and key songwriters. Overkill weathered the dreaded ‘90s the best of any thrash act, keeping a sharp edge to their sound even when adapting to the groove trend, largely due to Verni’s innovation. Never losing sight of his roots, Verni’s aggressive playing is unmistakable in one of metal's most consistent bands. OVERKILL Feel The Fire Megaforce,1985 https://www.sendspace.com/file/efxavs
